The best ME2 DLC pack

**The Dude** · October 27, 2010, 02:48 PM

Judge a pack on its entire content, that is to say even the things that remain persistent throughout your game after you finished the related missions.

I've not included the armor/outfits DLC's.

Myself, I'm partial to Overlord. I thought it was a very interesting storyline that finally managed to do justice to the hovertank as a gameplay element and appealed to me philosophically aswell. I enjoyed the final section where you experience the entire world in a sort of binary code, and I thought the combat sections throughout the missions were very strong. The leveldesign was amazing too, that Geth ship was a very eerie place.

Second for me comes Kasumi's DLC, I loved the entire heist take on a space opera. Third comes the Shadow Broker DLC which for some reason just failed to really captivate me. I don't know why. I thought the Shadow Broker himself was a letdown, storywise. I also think he shouldn't have been uncovered in a DLC. And I didn't really like the leveldesign as much as I did in Overlord and Kasumi's mission. The car chase section was amazing fun though, but that's pretty much the only highlight.

LotSB. Wasn't Zaeed free with Cerberus network, though?

Shadowbroker was by far the best add on. Decent difficulty, there must have been 4 or 5 really tough fights in the game. But I did get annoyed at it because Liara would not shoot or do anything, she just stood there and held her gun while she left you to take everyone out (on Insanity). Since on Insanity, everyone seems to target you as a priority, I watched Liara a lot and she did nothing but occasionally change positions, and die when a vanguard shotgunned her from point blank range- a bug? I must have died about 6 or 7 times in that battle just before getting inside the shadow brokers ship. The taxi part was cool, the mid game boss was difficult, although the final boss was a bit weak. The shadow broker den was really good as well, with the dossiers, investment opportunities and weapon deliveries, it was so packed compared to the other DLCs. And plus the conversation at the end with Liara was great!

Overlord was really easy even on Insanity, except for the last boss until I figured you just concentrate on those blue blobs and rape the core with heavy weapons. The level design in the area just before you get to the transmitter was very good because enemies would consistently try and flank you.

Firewalker was rubbish - I found the missions dull and way too easy.

Kasumi's DLC story was very good, with the vault, and I loved Donavan Hock - his accent is the best - he should be a squad mate for that accent, but it was a very short and easy DLC. Donavan Hock should have been so much more badass.

Zaaed was a great character, but really short and easy mission. Should have been more pyjaks to shoot.

One of your crewmates on the Normandy (a Cerberus guy) has that accent as well. He hangs out across the engine thing from Tali.

That engineer guy has a scottish accent. DOOnafvan HOOkk has an Afrikana/Scottish/Scouse accent.

Yeah, but still DLC since you have to download and install it.

Voted for Overlord just for the ending.

meh, nothing beats the return of asari

I found Kasumi dlc very interesting (but I won't vote, as I have ot yet played Overlord or LotSB), because it foreshadows something that could become mightily important for ME3.
I don't know if anyone here has noticed it, but in Kenji's gray-box there are pictures of a Reaper. Combine this with the fact, that his informations could "harm the Alliance greatly" and it might very well hint to some serious plot-twist.
Is the Alliance infiltrated by the Reapers?
Have they acquired enough of Sovereign to build a new Reaper?
Did they find another derelict Reaper and try to hide this from the other council species?
Whatever it is, I am fairly sure, it will be something big.

Heres a picture of Kenji pointing at the Reaper during the Review Kasumi shares with Shepard

Edit:
Found a shot of Sovereigns underside to compare the markings:

After playing the all the DLC's (except Kasumi) I can voice my opinion.

Firewalker is crap. All I can say about that.

Overlord was interesting. Though find it dull when only Shepard would say anything in party when you have Liara at least in Shadow Broker.

...and the obvious winner also gets my vote.
Decent work from Bioware. Fun to actually see the SB.

Shadow Broker is the only one I thought was worth getting.

**Stavroforos** · November 21, 2010, 08:37 AM

I downloaded Overlord, it was okay for the unique visuals and the nice ending, but other than that it was meh. I'm going to try out Shadow Broker when I get back my ME2 discs so I can install it again.

**Habelo** · November 21, 2010, 08:18 PM

Overlord is much more emotional though. A much better DLC for those who havent played ME1 imo.

**Legio** · November 22, 2010, 05:58 PM

The ending of Overlord kills me every time.

**Blaze86420** · November 24, 2010, 10:14 PM

I liked all of them expect for maybe firewalker, which wasn't all that great. I really like Zaeed, but on the other hand, Overlord and LotSB had a much more engaging story. I'll have to go with LotSB.
